Don't Argue With Donkeys

 

Learning Petals Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS

The donkey said to the tiger:

"The grass is blue".
The tiger replied:

"No, the grass is green."
The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit it to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:

"His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".
The lion replied:

"True, the grass is blue."
The donkey hurried and continued:

"The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."
The king then declared:

"The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."
The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:

"The Grass Is Blue"...
The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:

"Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."
The lion replied:

"In fact, the grass is green."
The tiger asked:

"So why are you punishing me?".
The lion replied:

"That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.
The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...
There are people who, no matter how much evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more. 

 

Proverbs 29:7-8 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, and he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.”

We are called to be light and salt, to speak the Truth and to witness The Gospel to the lost, but we are not called to argue with them or put them down. After we speak the Truth it is The SPIRIT of GOD that works conviction that leads to repentance.

Proverbs 10:30 “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.”

Seek GOD First!
